It has been a while but we do have our PLC next week. We are to plan a summarizing lesson and teach it. I think I might try one like this: The Crazy Professor Learning Game
Try This Week - December 5 - 9th
Inside/Outside Circle - I can put a sample piece in your mailbox to practice summarization or you can use whatever you are currently studying.
Students number off.
Odd-numbered students form a circle and turn around and face outward.
Even-numbered students stand in front of a peer.
The teacher provides prompts or discussion pieces (for summarization).
After allowing time for discussion, the teacher has the students in the outside circle move a few peers to their right or left, therefore greeting a new partner.
The process is repeated with a new set of partners.
The teacher stands in the middle to hear/observe snippets (I love this word!) of the conversations.
Summarization is the restating of the main ideas of the text in as few words as possible. It can be done in writing, orally, through drama, through art and music, in groups and individually. There is extensive research that shows that summarization is among the top nine most effective teaching strategies in the history of education (Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock, 2001). Teachers who start a lesson by summarizing the big points in the day's lesson and end by having students summarize their learning see gains in the retention of the material.
Summarization 1 - Establishing a Learning Focus
In this segment, the teacher activates student thinking and engages their prior knowledge. The students in this classroom understand their learning goal. The introductory lesson builds in space to allow students discussion time with their learning partners in order to make personal connections to the material. The teacher and students jointly create anchor charts that will later become reference points for students independent work. New material
is connected to prior learning and student reflection is embedded in the process. Summarization 2 - Explicit Teaching
This segment focuses on addressing the issue that many students face when put to the task of summarization: how to summarize in their own words and not simply quote the author. Using the key words found within a non-fiction text, the teacher models for students how to write a text summary in their own words. Summarization 3 - Interactive Writing Summarization 4 - Check for Understanding Summarization 5 - Assesment As Learning Summarization 6 - Reciprical Teaching Part One - prediction, clarifying, questioning, summarizing Part Two
